The beach is quite dirty, nice to walk along but not to stay for sunbathing and swimming. There are no sunbeds and there is also a lot of noise because of the boats.

I loved it. A nice place to relax and read a book. If you want to swimming, go ahead! You can also see a lot of Thai boats!

Ao Nang Beach isn't quite up to the same standard as its cousin to the north. There didn't appear to be much depth to it, although perhaps I visited at higher tide.
There is however a very interesting piece of installation art at the northernmost portion of the beach! You need to climb onto an access road to get to it. It isn't visible from the beach itself

...but, because there are very few tourists, it was almost deserted when we were there over Christmas. There were very few long tail boats working when normally, they are many taking tourists to various islands. Probably due to few visitors, there wasn't as much litter as on previous visits so I guess that's a good thing.
It's a great beach for a walk or if you are feeling particularly energetic, a run! Our favourite time is late afternoon/early evening when the light is gradually fading and the colour of the sea changes every few minutes. Sunsets can be amazing.
The road through Ao Nang is immediately by the beach in places and the road is lined with shops and restaurants although a significant number were closed due to Covid.
In normal times, the beach is crowded with foreign tourists with the nearby Nopparathara beach seemingly the favourite for Thais.
Hopefully the good times will eventually return but at the present time take advantage of an almost deserted wonderful stretch of sand.

We are due to stay in Ao Nang in November 2020, and I was wondering whether there are any other beaches within walking distance. A few of the reviews about Ao Nang beach being dirty are a bit of a worry. Hope someone can help

Listen sorry for late (very) late reply. In the meantime you probably canceled your trip to Thailand because of Covid19.
Beach in Ao Nang is not special but you can reach so many beautiful islands in a few minutes.
Since perhaps you will eventually come in 2021.... still have time to answer your eventual further questions.

If you like beachs you can visit Railay beach and phra nang Cave Beach and Hong island very easy by booking longtail. Phra nang you can kayak around some parts of it which is good. There is also a 4 island Speedboat trip for 2800baht each including food and drink... We didn't do this we choose just to do the day at bamboo which cost approx 1400baht per person Including food and drink and its only 40mins away by speedboat. I wouldn't waste any time on Ao Nang beach for swimming not very good. Krabi night market is also not far away.

My plan is to have two tours. 1. Island hopping. 2. Snorkelling at koh rok and koh haa. Does it worth it to do two almost similar activities on different day? Or it just a waste of time and money?

Most guides will take you to both places but if you have to choose between the two, I'd choose Koh Ha. The turquoise water is just amazing. But i noticed your question is either island hopping or koh rok&ha. If you choose snorkeling, the tour will include going to different islands anyway which also includes lunch.

We will be in krabi in the last week of August with our 2year old. We're looking for a beach property for convenient beach bumming primarily and not too much rush. Will railey be too inconvenient? Also, if we go towards ao nang in the evening, will coming back to railey be too inconvenient and/or expensive? If someone on here has been to Calangute in Goa, could you please make a comparison between Calangute and Ao Nang? We want to completely avoid that kind of crazy mad rush, but not at the cost of convenience because of our son.

I could say Klong Muang Beach but really quiet and nothing much around there. I went to Klong Muang Bay view resort and there is small road to access to the beach and only 1 restaurant over there.
